RE: [PHP] intermediate search screen

Daniel, Another way that I have been thinking of lately is to open a small pop window in the center of the screen which has the focus and a timeout value you could have an animated gif progress bar to match timeout for example the following would be the popup window source so you would need a way to action the submit to open the popup window: (untested) --snip-- <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> <!-- window.focus(); function action(url) { window.opener.location.href = url; } setTimeout('action(results.php?query=$_POST['query')',2000); --> </script> </head> <body> <img src="progress_bar.gif"> </body> --snip-- Just an idea, Regards, Joseph -----Original Message----- From: daniel [mailto:daniel@electroteque.org] Sent: Thursday, 10 April 2003 12:13 PM To: holmes072000; php-general; shiflett@php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] intermediate search screen ok this is the only way i can do it at the moment http://sbs.com.au/phptest/search2.php search for "movie" u still have to wait on the results end after it has redirected ignore the word querystring , when i move this to php4 in a few days i'll use session variables to store the entire query string, as it might be huge searching a heap of fields at once. >===== Original Message From shiflett@php.net ===== >--- daniel <daniel@electroteque.org> wrote: >> note: flush only works if u do a ob_flush after it > >That is incorrect.
